Liverpool will play Napoli on Tuesday in 2019/20 UEFA Champions league as the tournament begins. The Reds go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Stadio San Paolo, Naples

Liverpool are having exceptional 2019/20 Premier League season and it will become even more fruitful if they continue their endeavours in 2019/20 Champions League.

The Reds won the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League impressively and they must be very confident going into this season. They first start against Napoli away.

It promises to be a good game as Napoli are a good team. But Liverpool are equally good. Liverpool will go for that all important win.

With the likes of Mohamed Salah up front, Liverpool will look dangerous on Tuesday night.

On the other hand, Napoli are doing OK in 2019/29 Serie A but they will be focusing on this season’s UEFA Champions League.

Napoli have a good group in which they have Champions Liverpool, Genk and Red Bull. Napoli will look to give their best.

Liverpool first up will be a huge challenge. Despite the home advantage Napoli will look to at least go for a point. They must defend well and also attack well.

Liverpool are ahead in terms of the head to head against Napoli and they will look to continue the good work.
